change the way dynamic link attribute value

Is it possible to dynamically change the link of a workflow attribute value, attaching it to a configuration specific vCO (attribute) based on a drop-down menu in the presentation of the workflow?

I'm looking for an easy way to maintain a minimal set of workflows and configurations for the provision of the ESX hosts based on the environment.  I have a unique set of workflows that manage commissioning, and multiple configurations of vCO defined by ESX hosting environment (i.e. values by default attributes/for DNS, AD, IP settings for laboratory, test, prod, site1, site2, etc..).  I would like to be able to select a hosting environment configuration given in a drop-down list when I start the workflow, which would then set some attributes of workflow to the value of their corresponding configuration attributes.

Any ideas, or is there a better approach?

You can check the object 'Server' script, there is a method to access the ConfigurationElementCategory and from there, you can get your ConfigurationElement.
So, you can use the solution above, Martin and in access to script Action ConfigurationElement.

  • You can change the way that you scroll up and down pages.have just installed the new update from apple and the way in which you have to scroll through the pages in firefox has c

    After you have installed the latest version of the software update apple has changed the way you scroll through the pages. I would like to consider to have a box at the top and bottom of the screen that you use for scrolling. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    On Mac, scroll bars may be hidden and are showing them when you scroll down the page, so you can see the current scroll position.

    The idea is that a Tablet is used that does not need to be visible and therefore more screen real estate for the navigation area, scroll bars.

    You can make scroll bars always appear:

  • Change camera vision Builder link attributes

    I have a Camera Link camera and a NI1427 Council. I need to change the shutter speed by program during an inspection. Is it possible to change the attributes of the Interior VBAI camera?

    I have seen a few examples for Firewire cameras and Camera Link cameras do not use IMAQdx, IMAQ simply. Is it possible to send commands to the camera inside VBAI? Is it possible to call a LabView VI that was to change the camera settings? Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for the input Brad. In fact, I realized another way to change the exposure through VBAI.

    It turns out that my camera camera (Sony XCL-5000) link has a mode in which the shutter speed can be controlled by a trigger pulse width.

    In IMAX, I changed the following attributes of the camera:

    Mode of operation-> pulse width

    Source of relaxation-> Camera Link

    Duration of exposure-> 7ms

    Then I put CC1 to "switch 0.

    In VBAI, I have configured step to acquire images at:

    Triggered-> checked image acquisition

    Trigger-> external 0 line

    -> Rising edge polarity

    I thought I'd be able to use the stage to generate impulses, but the width cannot be changed programmatically. So I use two measures of e/s of read/write with a time delay between the two. The first read/write IO affects 0 ane high external line that second place low. The value of the delay can be changed using a control variable. The pulse width resulting is probably not the most accurate, but it works for my application because I want to just increase the exposure when the picture is too dark and decreases when it is too bright.

  • Change the workflow by code attribute

    I want to change the value of many attributes of workflow. He points to a single resource, and I want to change it.

    Is it possible to change the workflow assigns values from code?

    Thank you very much

    D.

    It's what configuration items are for. Create a configuration item, add required attributes, set them and then change your workflow attributes to use the configuration item (many attributes can point to a single configuration element attribute)

    You will then be able to change the attributes of the customer or scripting configuration items.

  • Change the VM with custom attributes defined in a CSV file

    Hi all

    I'm doing something that I think should be simple (but this is the first time I used powercli and am not a good code writer), but I find it hard to tell.

    I created 2 custom attributes (owner and owner of the SSG system) in vCenter for my virtual machines.  I have a list of vm names csv and their associates "owners".  I would use powercli to read the csv file and connect to the VC server and the 'owners' of entry in the appropriate field.

    I borrowed com code from various places on the internet and these forums but I can't seem to make it all work.  I managed at least to read the information in the csv file and is displayed on the screen of my laptop.  What I can't do is get 3 columns in the csv file to be recognized as variables (unless there is some default variables I don't know) I can put in the game-Annotation lines.

    The code I have is:

    # Input range, includes all IBD VM names that are registered.
    $data = import-Csv "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\scripts\vmowners1.csv"-Header ('Hostname', 'Owner', 'SSG owner')
    # $data | Get-Member
    Write-Output $data
    # Loop over all the VMS in vCenter
    ForEach ($row in $data)
    {
    # Create variables for the current virtual and its 'Contact' and 'Description' computer that are custom attribute fields.  Also create a $note string to use Set-VM-Description
    $hostname = get-VM-name $vmname;
    # $contact = $vm | Get-Annotation CustomAttribute - user;
    # $description = $vm | Get-Annotation - CustomAttribute Description;
    # $note = $contact.name + ":'t" + $contact.value + "' not n" + $description.name + ":'t" + $description.value;
    Set Annotation - entity $hostname - CustomAttribute "Business system owner" - value $SSG_owner
    Set Annotation - entity $hostname - CustomAttribute "SSG system owner" - value $system_owner
    # Set - VM - VM $vm - $note Description - confirm: $false;
    }

    The result, I get on my screen is:

    PowerCLI C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\scripts >.\setvmownership.ps1

    Hello, dscottimw-

    You were on the right track.  There were a couple of things to change to make it work as you want:

    1. either remove the "-header" part of the Import-Csv line or delete the actual header of the CSV itself - these are elements in conflict (the "-Header" param names of the columns in the CSV and assumes that the CSV file has already no header row)
    2. you need to access the properties of the $row variable in the ForEach loop - not only call the names of the CSV column headers (this is why you may receive errors on things 'null' - whether you use variables that have no value)

    Try this:

    # Input array, includes all VM names from DCI that are registered.$arrVMsInfo = Import-Csv "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\scripts\vmowners1.csv"#Write-Output $data
    
    ## loop through all VMs listed in the CSV, setting custom attrib values for eachForEach ($row in $arrVMsInfo) {    ## get the VM for this row    $vmThisOne = Get-VM -Name $row.hostname    Set-Annotation -Entity $vmThisOne -CustomAttribute "Business System Owner" -Value $row.business_owner    Set-Annotation -Entity $vmThisOne -CustomAttribute "SSG System Owner" -Value $row.system_owner} ## end foreach
    

    And, to give it a shot without actually play the game on annotations, to make sure things go as you like, you could add a - WhatIf to each line in Set-Annotation in the ForEach loop.

    Which works better for you?
